Abstract excerpt
Background: New neurologic deficits after spine surgery occur in less than 1% of cases. A particularly rare complication is white cord syndrome, a neurologic deterioration in the absence of obvious perioperative injury with concurrent hyperintense signal change on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
